    230 Select Stereo Problem

    There is a cable that attaches to the battery threaded positive post with a wing nut. Make sure that it is connected. The first time I disconnected my battery, this cable fell behind the battery and I did not see it and forgot about it. It is the main power to your stereo.

    Corrosion protection for engine

    Guys, I am headed down to Anna Maria Island again and I am taking my boat. Last year I just sprayed everything down with Salt Away and had no corrosion issues. This year I thought about spraying some kind of corrosion protection on the engine. Any recommendations from you salt water guys? Thanks

    Weather in the South

    It has been 7 months and my boat has been in the water for 1 hour. Every weekend it rains. Loaded up yesterday and left the house, perfect weather, got to the ramp rain and storms. Forecast for today was sunny until 3 to 4 in the afternoon. But guess what rain, cloudy and cool. I am so tired of...

    Any car guys on here? I have a scratch removal question.

    A few yes but most of them are light surface scratches on the clear coat not into the paint. I will see if I can post some pics.

    Any car guys on here? I have a scratch removal question.

    I know a lot of people who have boats are in to cars. So I thought I would see if someone had an answer to a few questions. I have a 07 Murano that is dark blue. I have never had a car that shows scratches so easily. What is the best way to remove these white scratches in the clearcoat? I have...

    How long in the salt water w/o flushing motor

    Be prepared to have discoloration on your stainless props and braided lines. I took my boat to Fl and we used it every day for a week. After each day we stored it on a lift. It still tarnished my SS prop and braided lines going into the drive. Not a big deal but it happens quickly. Good Luck.

    Porpoising Problem

    My first Sea Ray was a 1997 190 Signiture Series with a 5.7 V8. This boat would porpoise as well unless it was trimed just right. I was told by a dealer that a majority of the 190's came with a smaller motor and the weight of the 5.7 contributed to the problem. The boat had a whale tail on it...

    GearLube Alarm

    It was the oil seal from where the gear lube drains from the resevior into the drive. The Tech at my dealer told me that this seal will let lube out but it will not let water in. However they pulled the drive and replaced the gaskets and lube. No water was in the drive. It was all under warranty...

    GearLube Alarm

    Well I found the leak. It took the boat sitting for over a week, but a tiny spot of oil was under the drive on the pavement. It was only about the size of a dime. I ran my hands behind the drive and a little lube got on my finger. It was right under the anode on the rear of the drive. I removed...

    GearLube Alarm

    It is an Alpha one drive and it happened after I had been cruising. We had not pulled any tubes this year. After I filled it back up then we pulled tubes for several hours. The gear lube stayed full.

    GearLube Alarm

    No I did not pull the drive. I did fill it from the bottom up until a drop or two came out of the top. I topped it off after the first run, but it stayed above the add mark until yesterday, that is when the alarm went off. Then I filled it to the max level and ran it pulling tubes for several...

    GearLube Alarm

    Guys, I have read many post about this issue and cannot seem to find anything like what happened to me today. After running my boat and shutting it down for the kids to swim, when I started the boat my low gear lube alarm went off. I checked the resivior and it was low. I filled it up and...
